These pictures originate from the new Blu Ray bonus discs and were screen-capped for us by a friend.
Aside from being wonderful reference for anyone wishing to make replica armor or vests, these pictures are significant in a number of ways.

Before we saw these it was not known how much of the Pre-Production 2 costume survived in the present day. We knew the helmet and jetpack are in private hands but it has long been rumored that the PP2 costume was stolen from LFL in the time when Empire was been made. While other parts may well have been stolen these pictures prove at least some of the suit is safe and sound in the archives!

Here are the armor parts identified.

Very cool to see some better pictures of PP2 armor plates!
The two plates that are not the same as in the PP2 Kenner photoshoot were actually arranged this way sometime during the time when these costumes were used in promotional appearances (see below)

So really these new pictures show a complete set of promotional chest armor. But for PP2 fans like me, it is thrilling to see the armor is still around.
And not just the armor, but the vest as well.

By matching the dye spot pattern I have matched this vest to the PP2 vest.

Its a bit hard to see but I think everything compares very well! Another PP2 piece accounted for.

I hope you all share the excitement I had when seeing these for the first time. A big thanks to Rodrigo for the screen caps and to Art for putting them up!

I was let down by how little Boba was represented in the "Collection" until the disc loaded the menu for the armor. I had my thoughts on what everything was and I'm happy that this bit of information got out. Thanks KB for loading and confirming all of this.

While the ROTJ chest logos were created using the ESB one as a base, the shoulder logo was made after the Pre-Pro #3 logo. I can't say it for sure, but the sister armors (Pre-Pro #2, Sandy and ROTJ v1) looks like painted and the twin armors (Pre-Pro #1, Pre-Pro #3 and ESB) looks like decals.

I dont think there decals at all Im sure they were painted with negative cut outs but Ive noy seen any reason to think them actual decals,
And considering we know the PP2 was supossed to be used for ESB but went missing ,I think it is possible that the ESB wasnt the first to have them added
